Subject: [QUAR] [WEB400] New Free EGLTooling
Importance: Low
I know when comparing EGL to other options like PHP one thing that comes
up is the price. Well, that's no longer an issue. EGL will now have a
completely free tool which will support a subset of the language to
allow you to do pretty much anything you need to do to build Web 2.0
applications.
Note that this will be the Rich UI tooling, not the simpler JSF tooling
that is functionally equivalent to most of what PHP or other scripting
languages provides (and is also very similar to 5250 when you get down
to it). No, the Rich UI is fully client-based and designed to access
all business logic through web services. It comes with a complete
WYSIWYG designer which blows just about any other tool out of the water.
Thus, with a combination of this tooling and the web services wizards in
RDi, you can actually create a complete working Rich Internet
Application. I still prefer the EGL layer in between, but that's
because it gives me more flexibility in the presentation of the data.
But if you want a zero-cost entry point into EGL, this is it.
Coming free to an EGL Cafe near you this summer!
